Jumbo Lollipops

You don’t see much candymaking anymore. I think people generally have the view that they want the time they invest in cooking to manifest into something “wholesome.” I would posit that there are worse things in the world than sugar and that much of the commercially-prepared sweets have things far more worrying than sugars.

This isn’t to say there’s anything wrong with commercial candy; I’m just saying, don’t discount the value of homemade sweets on the theory that all sweets are bad and therefore it doesn’t matter how bad any of them are.
